MOBILITY
ON DEMAND
DART is testing more flexible transit services, leveraging
technology and enabling people to choose the travel modes that
best serve their needs.
Using grant dollars from the Federal Transit Administration’s
Mobility on Demand Sandbox Demonstration Program,
the agency is developing technology needed to modify
its GoPass mobile app to integrate on-demand software
and payment platforms for pilot programs such as
demand-responsive service and dynamic carpooling.
Since many riders do not live or work within walking distance
of a bus stop or train station, the agency is testing new transit
services to solve that “first-mile/last-mile” challenge. DART also
is watching progress on emerging technologies like autonomous
vehicles and new models of ride-sharing/ride-sourcing services.
